A is for Activist

A is for Activist is an alphabet board book for young children written and illustrated by Innosanto Nagara.

Using rhyming, rhythmic text and bold, colourful artwork, it works through the letters of the alphabet while introducing themes of activism, civil rights, environmentalism, diversity, and social justice.

Rather than the usual "A is for Apple" fare, it offers a child's-eye introduction to ideas like equality, community organising, and standing up for what's right, with a hidden cat tucked into every page for young readers to spot.

Aimed at children roughly 3 to 7 years old, it has become a favourite pick for parents wanting to talk about big values in a simple, playful format.
